Kaypro was founded in 1952 as Non-Linear Systems, the first manufacturer
of digital voltmeters. In 1982, the company jumped on the personal computer
bandwagon and rose quickly to become a darling of the industry with sales
hitting $120 million.
The fall was quicker. Losses that peaked at $19.4 million on sales
of $21.8 million drove the company into Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings
in March 1990. In June 1992, the proceedings were converted to Chapter
7 liquidation to satisfy some $20 million in claims.
